You're absolutely right about that. I've been looking into the matte black (aka, hot rod black) type of paint and nobody seems to say anything good about the upkeep of it after it's been sprayed. I'm wanting something different that isn't seen too much with a twist but i'm still undecided. I want simple yet different and that's not going to be easy to pull off.
The worst thing that can happen is what I envision in my mind doesn't please me the same after I shoot it, I can just repaint it. Not a big deal really. I have time, it's going to take me probably a month to do all the body work and prep and build my paint booth in my garage. I saw an awesome video of a guy that built a DIY paint booth in his home garage and turned out well.
I'm getting stoked on paint!!!
